Effects on the environment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio, 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1999 Volkswagen Golf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Because R-134a does not contain chlorine atoms, the major catalyst in ozone depletion, R-134a has no ozone depletion potential.

R-134a does not cause smog and has a considerably lower global warming potential (greenhouse effect) than R-12 refrigerant. Nonetheless, do not release R-134a into the environment and always recover/recycle using approved service equipment.
